I think that's possible. However, I can easily see DE parents siding 
with Fudge about Harry's delusions. Moreover I can see another PJP 
(polyjuice potion)incident in which a DE child is substituted by the 
DE parent or another DE (Wormtail) to spy for the Dark Side.
Remember Hagrid said that once a wizard(witch) went over to the Dark 
Side they didn't care about anything else. Even if the DEs have 
reformed, Voldemort can use their children's safety as blackmail.

Personally, I found the Fleur character very irritating and the more 
I re-read GOF, the more irritating the character becomes. Fleur was 
the one 'checking out' Bill; IIRC, the book didn't say if Bill 
noticed her. I just hope there isn't yet another 'crush' theme in the 
books. 

A big problem I see with a Fleur-Bill relationship is distance. Bill 
works at Gringotts-Egypt. Fleur is in England or France. Unless, Bill 
get transferred to Gringotts-London or Gringotts-Paris (if such a 
branch exists). I really don't see how J.K. Rowling will put them in 
close enough proximity to even talk to each other.
